usa....cant stand yanks

[DMnumber4]

Why so many countries? Haha. I don't like the Australian cricket team, but I've got nothing against their footballers.

As has been recited to me a few times over the years:

\"the song \"we hate Sheffield Wednesday, we hate Rotherham too\" is incorrect, we hate bloody EVERYBODY!\"

One town, one team, one love, one passion, one Rovers  

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Likes

Queen of the South/Rangers (family)

Dislikes
Stranraer/Celtic (family)
Barnsley/Leeds (unpleasant experiences at both)
Clydebank when they existed because at an away game there with QOTS I had a can of Irn Bru confiscated from me.  I was 11 at the time but was deamt a threat.  Understandable in a way but the steward who took it not only threatened to have me arrested he then proceeded to drink the said drink in front of us.  What a t**t.  Only time I've ever really seen my Dad get angry with anyone.

[en aitch]

DMNumber4 - One Fulham?

No hates - loads of not bothereds - lots of places where fans have behaved like knobheads, but then we have some of those too.

So - I really don't care about those teams.

[German Rover]

Like Hibs, glentoran and borussia monchengladbach as all were substitutes for the rovers while i've been away. Like hamburg was on a ferry with loads going to the away leg at fulham and they were great fun to be around. bet they weren't like it on the way back.

Dislike Rotherham and Chesterfield for obvious reasons, despise bayern munich as they are the bas**rds who were fighting like f**k with us a couple of weeks ago whether we liked it or not. Dislike new Chelsea fans who think it is their god given right to win everything. Dislike Rangers because the heartless bitch who left me without a pot to piss in was a Rangers fan.

[not on facebook]

spell check here germanrover but i will type it how it sounds

'dan-ker-shan'

you say you like hamburg

well for sure hamburg fans love kevin keegan after time he spent over there,just tell the hamburg fans that keegen is from doncaster and you will go down well with them i guess

think i will have to put bham city onto me dislikes
for pure fact whenever i used to bet on brum they would do the opposite and my bet would fall apart

Likes

Newcastle, reason, one of the first footy shirts One of my older brothers mate wore in the 70's and thought it was a foreign glamerous side, doh. Met KK's family a few times while he was at Newcastle which reignited my liking.

Leeds, reason, well we are a town full of Leeds fans and me old man been from Skellow.

Dislikes

Rotherham, reason, Angel/county borough need I say more.

Scunny,reason, got 1 year ban from Glumford Park 1st season it opened after a steward knocked a rovers fan over the seats with a kid in his hands.

Millwall, reason, scum of the earth.

Regarding Premiership clubs (Newcastle here now included) I hate the greed that is ruining football, real fans are now getting priced out to make way for a special day out/birthday treat/hospitality plastic fans, I prefered listening to football and the roar of the crowd on the radio to watching the shite now served up on Sky, listening to 80+k fans at old Trafford and the amount of silence is deafening.
Something needs to be done to bring the passion back into football before it is too late, so many fans now believe the shite preached on SKY about how good football is and how it has evolved and it is total bullshit, they are making more money and taking the game backwards, investing in youth academies that produce f**k all, I am not against academies but to me it seems to smack of 'we invest millions in youth policies' when its maybe 1 players wages they spend.
Its the fans they should be investing in as they are the future but they are increasingly isolating the fans.
I would say of all Premiership clubs Manure are the ones I least like but actually admire what their fans are trying to do right now in buying the club bag from the yanks.

Only Love Can Break Your Heart RTR!!....a man after my own heart.  Once went to see St Etienne (the band) and was mesmorised by the lovely Sarah.  In fact the rest of the line-up could have had bags over their heads and I don't think I would have noticed.

[philsky]

Likes - none especially, St Albans City now - location, cheap entry, up and at them style, cheap bovril

Dislikes - Leeds. Significant number of fans intimidated my family after the Play Off Final - wasnt able to enjoy victory until off the tube. I will never forgive them.

           barcalona love everything about the club,great football,owned by the people,no shirt sponsorship (well unicef) and a great stadium
         west ham spent  a great night down a boozer in bethanel green,where some of the locals who d asked who i supported (and no doubt if i d said leeds i would have got battered) but cos i was donny i did nt have to pay for a drink/smoke all night.
          qpr used to go and see them a lot when i lived in london in late eighties but always stood in the away end,good team though seaman,paul parker,les ferdinand and probably the best trevor francis
         burnley always had a soft spot as they used to bring loads to belle vue in the old days,also worked around lancashire for a while and virtually everyone i met around burnley was a burnley fan,despite manure playing up the road, the same can be said in bolton

               real madrid franco s club

Hannover 96 - As above.

Brighton - I was lucky enough to be at the last game at the Goldstone Ground, terrific memories, great fans!!

Dagenham - Their fans acted with great dignity after the Conference Play Off Final defeat, nice to see them prospering now.

Bristol Rovers - For a great day in Cardiff with no trouble.

Arsenal - Love watching Wengers teams play it the way it should be!!

Any Yorkshire team - until they play us, then the gloves are off!!

DISLIKES:

Leyton Orient - Got a shoeing on the way back from a Rovers match as a kid down in London, still bitter nearly 25 years on.

Chelsea & Man City - Ruining football for the little clubs.

Millwall - For the minority of Idiots!!

[Hounslowrover]

Likes:
Brentford - local taem, used to watch when at college
Cowdenbeath and Dunfirmline - mum's relations lived in Fife and used to visit, so always a soft spot
Swindon - mate at college, remember the Anglo-Italian cup, used to watch them
Nantes - have a house in the Vendee and get to watch when here (usually August, so they have to substitute for Rovers)
Hannover 96 - have a German mate who supports them, he even sent me a tape of their cup win many years ago against Werder Bremen (I think) - I watched it through in German - it was 0-0 and settled on penalties!!
Soft spot for ..... Scunthorpe, had an uncle who took me a few times to the Old Show Ground when they were in old second division.

Dislikes - none really, though didn't like Chester for a long time, and reading this forum I suppose I should dilike some Yorkshire clubs, but only when we play them.

[edwingray]

Donny (home-town club)

Harrogate T (started playing them on FM and it stuck)

Portsmouth - friendly fans who know how to create an atmosphere.

Bristol Rovers - great day down in Cardiff and those fans were no trouble at all.

Carlisle - decent fans who wished us all the best in our promotion bid from L1.

Dislikes

Scunny, Mansfield, Hartlepool and Port Vale - all have a minority of fans who made my visits there an uncomfortable experience - oh and the Notts Police were a bunch of arseholes too when in Mansfield.

Man U - Alex Ferguson basically, possibly the biggest arse in football.

[Highland Rover]

[irishcontingent]

Dont dislike any team, they all have their pro's and cons. Obviously favour DRFC, but to me it matters not who a team are, if they entertain in any way, i like em.

[donnybez]

Like
York City - Local side, shame they did'nt return to Football League this season
Crewe Alexandra - 2nd team i ever saw, first was DRFC obv. Reletives also support them so theres always been a interesting feel to matches against them....Unless its a LDV 8-0 defeat.
FC Barcelona - Seen them play to celebrate my 18th. No better team in the world other then Rovers
FC Oulu - Family in that area, plus the lesser known but much better Oulu side B)


Dislike
Leeds United - Is there really any point in listing the millions of reasons? The over-the-top-ignorant and arrogant masses would be a start....
Manchester United - Read above
Sheffield Wednesday/Barnsley/Sheffield United - Local rivals
Scunthorpe United - My first derby game i saw in the FA Cup...their fans, team, club in general have lead me to hate them

[Dutch Uncle]

Came to this traditional (but welcome) out of season thread late so some duplicates but here goes:

Like:

Swansea (born there, my second team)

Brighton - the heart of football day

Dagenham & Redbridge (gallant fans at Stoke - there but for the grace of Sir Francis....)

Carlisle (great fans on last day of 2003-4 when they were relegated to the conference but only wanted to congratulate us on our championship)

Southend (how about that for support in the play-off semi)

Forest Green Rovers (also had a soft spot for them - if they do get a reprieve they will be amazingly the longest serving club in the conference prem - amazing for such a small community)

MVV Maastricht (great town)

Bournemouth for the same reasons as everyone else


Dislikes

MK Dons - identity thieves

Coventry (for their disgraceful handling of the Robert Betts affair when we were at our lowest ebb)

Boston (cheats never prosper)

Leeds (8p in the pound to St John's ambulance)

Derby (for pinching Greeny and Gareth R)
